Hey guys... I recently retired and I am trying to setup a dedicated rig for flight sims. I own Lock On Platinum and came across some discussion for LEAVU. I purchased Cougar MFD's and have an old 15" touchscreen around the house and would like to extract the MFD's for FC2.

 

Is LEAVU still usable or did Gear replace it or some other way? What is the best approach to extract MFD's from FC2? I tried the links posted in the threads but they don't appear to be working any more.

 

I have been playing around with Falcon BMS and have to admit the built in extractor is nice.

 

My system is a little dated so that is why I want to stay with Falcon BMS, Lock On FC2, and IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 for the time being. If I get more proficient then I will look at upgrading my system for the newer generations of flight sims.

 

 

I am also looking at setting up Freetrack to use. Is that application still viable or should I just spend the money on TrackIR?

 

My system:

 

Intel E6750 OC to 3.2GHZ

EVGA 560ti 2GB

3GB RAM

X52PRO

Cougar MFD

WinXP Pro

 

Thanks

I can realy suggest spending money on TrackIR5 ones you have that you dont want something else anymore

it makes simming just a little bit " more"

Freetrack is useable but it doesnt even gets close to TrackIR

 

LEAVU is still downloadable look it up in google ( thats how i got it last week )

cant tell yout he link since im at work atm

Oh it does using the right camera (PS Eye) and settings, its just buggy as hell and hard to set up :evil:

Which is why i got a TIR5, not cost effective but works perfectly without tinkering.

tru it will do what it has to do

but getting a good camera would cost money as well

and like you said buggy and hard to setup

why not spend a bit more and " almost" plug and play with TrackIR

Okay I have TrackIR 5 on order. Does anyone here have the Cougar MFD's? Also is there any must have mods for FC2 that I should look into? I also have the X52 PRO setup. Is there any good profiles for it for LOFLC2? I just want to have a nice setup before I spend time learning the game.

 

Thanks

Cougar MFDs here, excellent for A10c and Ka50. Limited use in FC3 as I don't think the buttons are I game. However you can map any function you want to them. I have yet to fly the A10A so don't know about the key map yet

i have never bin into FC2 so i cant tell you about that

the cougar mfds are great!

as nich said you can map them to anything you like in any game since its just a " controller"

 

in dcs world its great to use with the A-10c or the KA-50

they come pretty handy for these
